Designed and built in 1938 by architect Charles H. Franklin as his personal residence, this Mid-Century Modern home sits on a corner lot in Old Fig, just steps from the celebrated Christmas Tree Lane. The open living and dining area is filled with natural light and oriented toward the mature surrounding landscape, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow throughout. The kitchen retains its original aluminum and wood cabinetry, a hallmark of the period. Bedrooms are generously proportioned with large closets and well-placed windows. Both bathrooms carry the home’s classic design sensibility with period-appropriate detail. An enclosed patio wraps a private koi pond, offering a sheltered outdoor retreat morning or evening. A rare opportunity to own a piece of architect-designed Fresno history.
